NRL: Ben Hunt has made public comments about his current contract situation with the St. George Illawarra Dragons.
Ben Hunt is one of the biggest-name players that will become a free agent come November 1 — and it’s all but certain he’ll sign with a new club unless there’s a sensational backflip from the Dragons.
Hunt is the Dragons’ best and most important player but that hasn’t the stopped the club from making a tough decision on its skipper’s future.Despite the fact he’ll turn 35 in the first month of next season, Hunt has already declared he “definitely” wants to play on after 2025.Hunt is a Queensland product and has previously spoken about his desire to return home, however he’s open to other options too.
There’ll be no shortage of interest in Hunt, who is one of the most experienced players in the game with over 330 NRL games under his belt. He’s also played 20 games for Queensland and is a 15-time Kangaroo — and counting after he was selected in the extended squad for the Pacific Championships.Red Hill is the home that makes the most sense.
If there’s one thing the Knights desperately need to sort out it’s their halves pairing. Jack Cogger was recruited to the club but Tyson Gamble and Jackson Hastings started together this year in a nod of goodwill by coach Adam O’Brien after their form in 2023. But after back-to-back losses to start the season, O’Brien started chopping and changing. Hastings was dropped then recalled before Gamble was dropped and then recalled.
